Supreme Court since Wednesday.

New York, Sept. 15.-The "Tri-
bune" says the only secret about
the yacht Thistle is that her hull
is covered first with a coating of
cement and then with three coats of
enamel, which make her hull as
smooth as glass.
Washington, Sept. ia West
Virginia Democrat who holds posi-
ton in Washington, who has just
returned from a visit to his home,
says: sin West Virginia men are
going through the State urging ex-
soldiers to join the Grand Army of
the Republic. Every man who had
any sort of connection with the
army is taken in. The inducements
offered are that by concentrated
efforts next winter pensions can be
procured for all who were in the
army. Some of our people suspect
that it is scheme TO turn the Grand
Army into a political machine for
the Republicans. At any rate, about
all the men who were canvassing
for recruits for the Grand Army
were Republicans"
New York, Sept. 17.-Henry
George has gone to stump the State
for his labor party in the coming
campaign. He failed to answer his
panel as juror in the City Court

him 800.

TINA Randolph Meikleham, who was
the last surviving grandchild of
Thomas jefferson, died on Wednes-
day evening, in the seventy-fourth
year of her age. She was widow
of David Scott Meikleham, a pro-
minent Scotch physician, and bore
striking resemblance to her grand
father. She leaves three children,
one son and two daughters. Ran
dolph, her son, is in poor health.
Miss Alice, the eldest daughter,

Washington, Sept. 15.-It was
announced to-day that the Depart
ment of State declines to ask for the
extradition of McCarigle, the Chi
cago boodler, who made his escape
into Canada.
Secretary Bayard's reason is that
he could discover no proper ground
upon which to demand extradition.
DR.. st. John, the British subject
who planned the escape within the
jurisdiction of the United States,
should be held answerable, but that
does not help the extradition of
McGarigle. Neither does British
ownership of the vessel upon which
McGarigle escaped cut any figure.
New York, Sept. 15.-All of Hag-
gins crack horses-Hidalgo, Ben
Ali, Mecury, Guarantee, Santa Rita,
Preciosa, Fitzjames and several
others-are sick with a strange cpl
demic. Sores break out, first on
the ankles and then on the sides and
back. No other horses, either at
Sheepshead Bay or Brooklyn, are
similarly affected. Trainers Byrnes
and Cooper and the veterinaries do
not know what it is. They lay it to
some trouble with the last lot of hay
brought here from California. While
the disease incapacitates all the
horses, it has not proved fatal or
particularly serious, and is not ex-
pected TO. Both trainers think the
horses will be able to run at the
Brooklyn meeting next week.
New York, Sept, l3.-Lieutenant
Elzalinski, of dynamite gun fame,
is busily occupied with preparations
for the coming test of his gun off
Sandy Hook. The Lieutenant re-
Gently came to the conclusion that
the wooden tail pieces of his dyna-
mite shells ought to be replaced by
iron tails, but in order to make this
change good deal of preliminary
work is necessary. The date fixed
by the Navy Department for the ex-
pertinent is September goth, when
the Lieutenant will undertake to de-
stroy an old hull which will be lowed
to point off Sandy Hook. The
hull will be one mile away from the
gun. The Lieutenant preferred
greater distance.
Boston, Sept. 16.-Concerning the
report that General Butler would be
employed to champion the cause of
the condemned Anarchists in Chi
cage, the General said yesterday
afternoon: ''From what examination
of the matter / have made, / do not
see anything to warrant my taking
